法国环境史三题:评《环境史资料》

A Comment on the Work ‘Data of Environmental History’:Focused on Three Problems concerning French Environmental History

《环境史资料》一书体现了目前法国环境史研究的现状。在该书探讨的法国环境史的重要问题中,有三个问题特别值得重视:环境概念和相关的境地概念在法国的演变;19世纪以来景观的变迁及其反映的人与自然的关系的变化;19世纪以来环境问题的发展以及法国社会和政治的回应。这三个问题揭示了环境观念在现代法国的成长及其原因。

‘The Sources of Environmental History’ represents the current research of environmental history in France.Among the important questions concerning the history of French environment discussed in the book,three are worth our attention:the evolution of the concept of environment and milieu which is closely related to environment,the change of the landscape,the transformation of the relationship between human and nature that is revealed by this change,and the development of environmental problems and the responses of the French society and politics since the 19th century.These questions illustrate the growth of the environmental conscience in France and its causes.
